I don't understand the popularity of Alcantara

Bit of a rant here. For the record I am not a fan of alcantara. To me it's akin to cheap polyester clothing from the '70's. Or material you'd see in a shaggin' wagon from the '70s. In other words, tacky and cheap-looking unbefitting any vehicle priced more than $35,000. Having to go aftermarket to get proper leather shifter and e-brake boots is disappointing. I understand alcantara on steering wheels of real track/race cars. But standard commuter cars?

OK, rant off. I feel better now. Although, the old-fashioned might have helped
